JAKARTA - Actress Sydney Sweeney is again under fire for her acting and role in the Euphoria series. In the third season which aired this month, she played the role of an adult OnlyFans site user.
Sweeney plays Cassie who is told to create an OnlyFans account to get money to pay for the interest in her wedding with Nate (Jacob Elordi). Cassie is helped by Maddy (Alexa Demie) to turn it into a famous OnlyFans star.
Cassie started her career as an OnlyFans star by posing like a dog and then a baby. However, it was considered to condemn the world of OnlyFans which is different from the appearance in the series.
Sydney Leathers, one of the creators of OnlyFans, considers Cassie's role to be too stereotypical and not what it was described as.
"There's a lot of silly and cartoonish stuff about it. There's a lot of stuff she (Cassie) does that's even banned on OnlyFans and it's annoying; when she dresses up like a baby with a diaper, for example," Sydney Leathers said, citing Variety.
OnlyFans itself prohibits content related to minors or under-age and dressing unlike the age on its platform. If violated, the user's account will be disabled.
Actress Maitland Ward, who is also a creator of OnlyFans, said, "In this situation, they dress it up as a baby to make that OnlyFans pornographic content a problem and perpetuate the stereotype that sex workers have no moral compass and they'll do anything for money."
"And there's always this false stigma that sex workers are involved in sex trafficking and violence and they'll say let's make a comedy about that. Funny. I'm not laughing," he said.
Previously, Sam Levinson as the creator said that Cassie's sub-plot as an OnlyFans creator was made to show the absurdity of Cassie's world. However, the criticism continued to grow as each episode of the Euphoria series was released.
Euphoria tells the story of high school students who are involved in various dark worlds. This series is one of the best-selling series and has aired up to season three.
